Biografía
I was born in San Mateo and have a lifelong love for my hometown. I became involved in politics to help support my community to grow and expand without losing the qualities that make San Mateo County "home". As a member of San Mateo County Democratic Central Committee (SMCDCC), I have helped elect many wonderful representatives to our county. As an elected member of SMCDCC I do more than show up to meetings. I am involved in every aspect of the committee from planning and catering events to cleaning up the trash after the event. As a current member of the SMCDCC Executive Board, I strive to do everything possible to support the Democrats within San Mateo County.
In 2015 I was unanimously elected to become Controller for SMCDCC by my peers. I have a reputation for keeping quality high while operating within or below budget. My philosophy is to keep the highest possible quality while maintaining frugality. For one event, I made 640 individual desserts in my tiny kitchen during a heat wave! I regularly phone bank during election years and have walked many precincts to support candidates and causes I believe in.
Last year I was honored by SMCDCC as Volunteer of the Year for 2015. This is awarded to one individual each year who has acted above and beyond to support the Democratic Party.
I have been a small business owner here in San Mateo County and understand the problems and challenges faced by so many of the small business owners in our area. I have also been very active in animal rescue and an advocate for better legislation to support animals within our county and our state.

I am a Democrat. I am generally liberal but pragmatic enough to compromise when that's the only way to get something passed. I support a progressive agenda that treasures all members of our community. San Mateo County has become a place where there are many people prospering and many people are getting left behind as rents rise faster than their minimum wage jobs. As a community, we need to address the inequality and elect representatives that will support all of our citizens. Being involved in animal rescue, I have seen some of the horrible things done to companion animals. I try to use my position to gain access to lawmakers to improve the laws that can minimize the abuses.
We have come a long way but we need to keep fighting to make things better.

I'm an advocate for women’s rights, public health and education, the welfare of seniors, working people, and environmental protection policies. I've participated in Local, state and national canvassing and worked candidate phone banks. I've represented the district as a state delegate several times and a national delegate for the re-election of President Obama in 2012. I am excited and ready to continue doing my part on the Central Committee.

I wholeheartedly believe the best way to change the world is to empower women leaders and those from underrepresented communities! I've dedicated my career to building inclusive communities, whether that's inside the classroom, with a nonprofit, or advocating for equality at various governmental entities.
My favorite learning moments are when I'm the only or one of the few White people in the room, praying with others from another faith, or trying my best to speak a language foreign to me, but dominant of the group I'm in. My career adventures have taken me to Capitol Hill, the United Nations, Stanford GSB, and serving as an executive director and adjunct instructor. While we are far from achieving true equality in the world, I'll keep trying everyday!

I will increase Democratic voter turnout during elections. I will increase our "registration of immigrant turned-US citizens" so our voter roster will increase with Democratic voters. As a delegate to the CDP I will continue to attend our Democratic group meetings and participate in our democratic empowerment. I am a strong believer in registering Democratic voters and ensuring our stronger voter rolls stay Democratic.
As a stalwart adherent to Democratic Values, ANTHONY FEL AMISTAD will work hard to connect to ethnic communities and groups which make up the majority of residents in San Mateo County. Dr. Amistad is fluent in English and understands and speaks conversational Spanish and Tagalog (Filipino).

As a Democrat, ANTHONY FEL AMISTAD will foster voter registration and voter participation in local and state elections and ensure that voters come out to vote for US President in the November 2016 election cycle. He believes that "Voters cannot take for granted their rights and duties to ensure our future well-being. We can only partake in the future by serving as role models for others. We need to vote today. Tomorrow is critical but we set the ground for that success today!

Engage Immigrant communities to Empower and Enhance Democratic Party
Democratic Values are needed to ensure the next generation of voters and leaders will stay true blue to the Democratic Party.
With the negative news emanating from the GOP party about "building borders to keep out Mexicans and banning Muslims", the time is ripe to ensure that the Democratic Party stands for inclusion and Democratic, American Values. As a second generation citizen, I totally understand the plight of the immigrant and the experience of those who came before me. My parents fled to America to seek a better life and enjoy the American Dream. I did pursue a better life as a result of our hard work and education. However, I do owe much of the freedom and enriching quality of life to the Democratic Values I learned from others in my region. I want to share these values with other immigrants who have become US citizens and young citizens who wish to enjoy the American Dream and partake in the political process. As a community organizer and leader in my community, I will do my best to empower our diverse groups and citizens so that we all benefit from Democracy.
I served San Mato County as a Commissioner (appointed by Senator Jerry Hill, then a County Supervisor). I was also an alternate delegate to the California Democratic Party under then-Assemblyman Gene Mullin (D-SSF). I was also a DCCC spokesman for Assemblyman Kevin Shelly (D-SF). I served in the State Democratic CDP as a Caucus Co-Chair and other voter outreach organizations. I served as an Inspector Judge for the San Mateo County Elections Office.
We need to stay engaged and stay focused. I will continue to serve as a leader in the Party and in my community.
Reach Out to Young and New Voters
The millennial generation will have an impact on the 2016 Presidential Election. For one, there are numerous technological savvy high school and college students who will
vote for the first time. We need to reach out to more of these bright and dynamic individuals who will be the backbone and cradle of the Democratic Party for years to come.
The time has come to engage our millennial voters. The San Mateo County demographic makeup has changed. The voter list or roster has become diverse and different. More Hispanic surnames, Asian last names, and a mixture of so many international ethnicities have now made San Mateo County home. Like the State composition, the County will change in no time. Will the Democratic Party adapt and change to this new dynamic? Will the Party leaders adapt and reach out to these new voters whose parents immigrated to U.S.A. a generation or less ago? Will the Party stay true to its bold goals and ensure fairness and equality of new registered voters regardless of their backgrounds and socioeconomic roots?
The Democratic Party has a huge impact in 2016. I will partake in this energetic effort to ensure voters are well represented in the Democratic Party of San Mateo County. As a past member of 80-20initiative.net (Vice President) , Friends of the FilAm Community (past president), FilAm Democratic Club of San Mateo County (past president), and other civic groups and organizations (Chamber of Commerce, Lions Club West of Twin Peaks, Hillsdale PTA (Vice President), George Hall and Abbott Middle School PTA groups, and so many more, I believe I can balance the duties and responsibilities of Committee member of the San Mateo County Democratic Central Committee (DCCC).
Register more Democratic Voters
I will work hard to engage all independent and "decline to state" voters who wish to be called DEMOCRATS. I intend to reach out as a role model, professional educator,
and leader in my community. I have done non-profit volunteer work for many years and I will continue to reach all voters who do not want to stay partisan. As a vocal Democratic
leader, I will persist and persevere to register voters as DEMOCRATS. Visit my website www.dramistad.com. I have worked with our top state Democratic leaders and will continue to
work with others at all levels. My experience and years of contribution will ensure that Democratic Values reign high in our area and state.
I will work with our diverse voters to engage young and old, disabled and challenged, to come to our Democratic Party and be part of the strongest party in California.
All of our top elected officials are Democrats.
All of our state and regional leaders are mostly Democrats.
I will work to reach out to new transferees and immigrant groups who are US Citizens but are still "undecided or decline to state" activists.
I can work with these groups and I will continue my nonprofit involvement in the community. My 2 decades of contribution to San Mateo County politics will be my legacy
but most importantly, the results of my work will matter more. More elected state and local leaders. More appointed state and local officials. More Democratic Values here
and across state territories. I will make our Golden State shine!
